Pizza puzzles.
As
an aside, I got asked by a friend of mine (yes I have some) to try and
explain the whole sensory/fussiness issue when it comes to food.
So I'm gonna attempt to do it quickly and succinctly.
The best example to use is a good old fashioned cheese pizza.
To most of you a cheese pizza is, well, a cheese pizza - you have deep pan, thin, four cheeses, stuffed crust, different brands etc - they may taste oh so slightly different to you but you know in your brain (and in your stomach) that it's all that big crazy thing called 'cheese pizza' and you've catalogued it all away under that heading.
But to folk like us the first cheese pizza you ever try is the definition of cheese pizza.
There can be no other.
So you carefully programme it into your memory that this is what cheese pizza tastes and looks like.
No other one, just that.
The others taste and look slightly different therefore cant be cheese pizza, otherwise they'd all be the same.
It'd be like if i gave you a wine glass of cold water and told you it was white wine you'd know the difference and so do we, only this time with pizza.
Simple eh?
Thanks for listening.
